Characterisation of silicon photomultipliers in a dilution refrigerator down to 9.4 mK towards a cryogenic cosmic-ray muon veto system

DMC Collaboration, A. Kemp, S. Autti +30

We report the characterisation of a FBK NUV-HD-cryo silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) sensor operated in a 9.4 0.2 mK environment inside a dilution refrigerator, towards the dev…

Dark Matter Attenuation Effects: Sensitivity Ceilings for Spin-Dependent and Spin-Independent Interactions

DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, J. Smirnov +27

Direct detection experiments aimed at uncovering the elusive nature of dark matter (DM) have made significant progress in probing ever lower cross-sections for DM-nucleon interacti…

Dark Matter EFT Landscape Probed by QUEST-DMC

DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, S. Autti +27

We present the projected sensitivity to non-relativistic Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators for Dark Matter (DM) direct detection using the QUEST-DMC experiment. QUEST-DMC empl…

Development of superfluid helium-3 bolometry using nanowire resonators with SQUID readout for the QUEST-DMC experiment

DMC Collaboration, E. Leason, L. V. Levitin +28

Superfluid helium-3 bolometers can be utilised for dark matter direct detection searches. The extremely low heat capacity of the B phase of the superfluid helium-3 at ultra-low tem…

Probing the Dark Matter EFT with QUEST-DMC: Projected Sensitivities and Attenuation Ceilings

DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, S. Autti +27

This proceedings contribution summarises projected constraints from the QUEST-DMC concept, a surface-based direct-detection experiment using superfluid He operated below the mi…
